For an extra layer of flavor, try using a flavored butter, such as garlic herb or smoked paprika butter, to fill the cabbage core. If you don't have a grill, you can roast the foil-wrapped cabbage in a 400°F (200°C) oven for about an hour, or until tender. Feel free to experiment with different types of bacon, such as maple-glazed or jalapeno bacon, to customize the flavor profile.

Prepare the cabbage: Fill the cored cavity of the cabbage with the softened butter, then season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roll the bacon slices tightly and pack them into the hole in the cabbage, using all of the bacon. Wrap the entire cabbage head securely in heavy-duty aluminum foil. (10 minutes)

Grill the cabbage: Place the foil-wrapped cabbage on the preheated grill. Cook until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized, about 45 to 50 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Crisp the bacon: Carefully remove the cabbage from the grill and unwrap it. Remove the bacon from the cabbage. Place the bacon directly on the grill grates and cook until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes, flipping as needed to prevent burning.
